Watch ZHU Drop Haunting Unreleased Remix of Coldplay’s “Higher Power” at Red Rocks
As concerts begin to make their return, ZHU is leading the charge in bringing the live dance music scene back to a semblance of normalcy. On Monday, May 3rd, the Grammy-nominated electronic artist brought his A-game to the first of six DREAMROCKS shows at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. And on the sixth and final night ZHU—along with his band—debuted a flawless, unreleased remix of Coldplay‘s new single “Higher Power.” The exceptional rendition offers the perfect compliment to the original track, wherein ZHU infuses the hypnotic house flair he so effortlessly produced in his latest album, DREAMLAND 2021. EDM.com has reached out to ZHU’s team for more details on the remix, but they were not able to offer more information, such as a release date. ...
Dua Lipa wins album of the year at Brit Awards
Dua Lipa won the coveted British Album of the Year prize at the Brit Awards on Tuesday, in a ceremony that saw female artists dominate the mixed categories. Around 4,000 guests streamed into London’s O2 Arena for the biggest night in British pop music, as the ceremony welcomed guests for the first time in two years as part of the government’s pilot scheme easing coronavirus restrictions. The Brit Awards have been criticised in the past for nominations seen as skewing heavily male, but this year almost all of the main prizes went to female artists. Little Mix won best British group — becoming the first female act ever to do so. Singer and poet Arlo Parks took the Breakthrough Artist award, and best international group went to the American band HAIM. In another history-making moment, Taylor ...
Coldplay Finally Unveil ‘Higher Power’ With Performance From the International Space Station
Last month, Coldplay began teasing a new project called “Alien Radio” with a series of mysterious symbols. Within hours, the code was cracked by fans and internet sleuths, who discovered that the band would be releasing a song called “Higher Power” on May 7. Now that it’s May 7 in certain parts of the world, the Max Martin-produced track has been released, and it’s out of this world (in a literal sense). Rather than dropping a simple lyric video or clips from quarantine, the Goop divorcee and crew partnered with French ESA astronaut (and current mission commander on the International Space Station) Thomas Pesquet to broadcast a special performance of the song from space itself. The recorded performance (appropriately titled “Extraterrestrial Transmission”) comes complete with hol...
Coldplay, HAIM, Honey Dijon, More to Perform at Virtual Festival From Glastonbury Organizers

Fans didn’t have to wait long to uncover what the mysterious message entailed. Organizers have announced “Live At Worthy Farm,” be a global streaming event that on Saturday, May 22nd, 2021.

Brittany Howard, Chris Martin Team for ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’
If Brittany Howard’s five Grammy nods weren’t enough proof of how massive her last year has been, her latest performance with Coldplay’s Chris Martin should do it. The Alabama Shakes leader and 2021 nominee shared a heartfelt performance of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” originally written by Rodgers and Hammerstein and popularized by Gerry and the Pacemakers to honor singer Gerry Marsden alongside Martin at Sunday’s awards. Martin took on the keys as Howard belted powerfully to celebrate the lives we lost. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,...
The 50 Best Alt-Rock Love Songs
Not all love songs are romantic. Not all love songs are even happy. It all depends on your definition of the term. For every “My Girl” or “Your Song,” there’s at least one track with a nuanced take on the darker, more complicated sides of love — the drama of a long-term relationship, the fear of losing a partner, the void left in love’s wake. Many of those songs fall under the admittedly broad umbrella of “alt-rock.” So to mark Valentine’s Day, we decided to gather 50 of our favorite “love songs” in the genre — both conventional and otherwise. Throughout this list, you’ll find lines about blooming romance and marital bliss. You’ll also find nods to drug addiction and car crashes. There’s something for everyone. – Ryan Reed 50. that dog. – “I’m Gonna See You” You take the good, you tak...
Nandi Bushell Brings ‘Smiles’ Drum Solo From Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’
While Nandi Bushell awaits Dave Grohl’s response in their ongoing “drum battle,” the young British musician switched gears and added her twist to Coldplay’s 2005 tune “Fix You.” “I hope this will bring a #smile to your face today. We always have #music! I really like this song called #fixyou by @Coldplay . The buildup at the end really get me flowing! With #love and #respect to you all, have an #awesome day ❤️🙏🏽✊🏽🤟🏽🥁👧🏽#coldplay #chrismartin #willchampion,” the 10-year-old British musician captioned the video. Aside from her impeccable drumming on the instrumental break on the track, she decked out her drumkit with neon tape, brought out the black light and gave viewers not just a sonic experience but a vis...
The 50 Best Songs of the Year 2000
The year 2000 looms large in pop culture history: the Y2k non-scare, the Seinfeld “Newmannium” episode, the “In the Year 2000″ sketch from Conan O’Brien’s original late-night show, the Hulu series PEN15. And just like, say, the grunge-defined 1991, the year immediately conjures specific sounds: gleaming teen-pop, earnest radio rock, the Neptunes and Timbaland. There’s never a bad time to revisit this music. But in the middle of a pandemic, with America on the verge of collapse, it feels extra comforting — a blast of nostalgia for a time when you could safely exit your home, visit your local mall’s Sam Goody and buy Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass” CD single. For this list, our only criteria was that the songs appear on albums or soundtracks released in 2000. Here we go. 50. Papa Roach, “Last Reso...
Coldplay Shares Never Before Seen First Take Of ‘Yellow’ Video
We’re familiar with Coldplay’s iconic “Yellow” music video: Chris Martin walking along an abandoned beach in full rain gear, soaked to the core as the wind whips his face. But apparently that was not the original plan. On Saturday, the band shared never before seen footage from the shoot on TikTok, in which Martin is dry, barefoot, and donning a red long sleeved shirt sans rain jacket. The short clip is scattered with fun facts about the making of the video. “Take 1 of the Yellow video (we’ve never shown this before),” the first message reads. “There were loads of extras in this version” “But it rained all day so we sent them home at 4pm,” it continues. “Chris grabbed the cameraman and said ‘let’s just walk down the beach’” “Worked out well in the end!” @coldplayTake 1 of the Yellow v...
Chris Martin Closes Out Together at Home Livestream Series With Coldplay Classics
On Friday, the Global Citizen livestream series Together At Home came full circle. Chris Martin, who played the first virtual show in March, closed out the series with a nearly 30 minute set of Coldplay classics. Martin began the acoustic performance on a high note, recruiting two young violinists to virtually play “Viva La Vida” from an iPad while he sang. The set also included hits like “Til Kingdom Come,” “Magic,” “God Put a Smile Upon Your Face,” “In My Place,” and “Fix You,” as the singer moved from acoustic guitar to piano. Watch the final Together At Home performance below. The streaming series is a partnership between World Health Organization and Global Citizen. Aside from intimate performances like Martin’s, Together At Home also put together a huge benefit concert cura...
